REMARKS BY FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH TO THE WASHINGTON WIVES BOOK CLUB CONGRATULATING HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ON
THE PUBLICATION OF HER MEMOIRS

Washington Wives Book Club BreakfastThe
Ritz Carlton Ballroom

THE FIRST LADY: Good morning, gals. I hope you're all enjoying your breakfasts. I promise to be brief, so we
can all get back to those punchbowls of Ritz Carlton Hollandaise sauce that help fill out our control-top JC Penny underthings
so splendidly.

(Laughter.)

You know, as a former librarian and teacher who talks ad nauseum about loving to read, I understand the importance
of pretending to value literature so much of which is nothing but the boring, written-down blah-blah of America-hating intellectuals.
Which brings me to the matter at hand. This morning, I want to congratulate Senator and former First Lady Hillary Rodham Sometimes-Clinton
whom I'm sorry to say isn't welcome at our events for neglecting her duties as a mother, wife and public servant long enough
to churn out all those chapters of liberal fiction which make up her new memoir,

I just don't know where she got the energy to write so many pages! Personally, after I finish the USA Today
crossword puzzle, have a few ciggies, then endure my daily 90-minute call from Bar, it's nearly all I can do to wrestle the
safety cap off my Xanax bottle, take a six hour nap, then be refreshed enough by 5:02 to greet George in the family quarters
lobby with a frosty mug of Tequiza.

(Applause.)

To me, it's just so impressive that Ms. Rodham it is "Ms.," isn't it? And "Rodham?" How confusing! That's why
I flushed my old name down the toilet and just go by "Mrs. George Walker Bush." Anyway, it's so impressive to me that whatserface
had the courage to slap an $8 Million price tag on dredging up the lurid details of her humiliation so that America's high-minded
news anchors and Matt Drudge can breathlessly revisit the salaciously yummy comings and goings of her hubby's horse-like pee-pee.
Why, just imagine the crushing shame and dishonor by association that poor woman felt knowing that her husband had gushed
mansnot all over some chunky little Jewess. In comparison, I thank Jesus every day that George's only faults have been minor
little peccadilloes like a running a string of failed businesses, dabbling in insider trading, and reducing his septum to
a Peruvian blue flake-flavored strip of Knox gelatin!

And so I again I say, congratulations Senator Hillary. I'm sure your book will be a big hit one that will serve
to humanize you, yet whose lurid details will fade from the popular consciousness just in time for your failed 2008 Presidential
bid against my brother-in-law Jeb. That's right Columba and I are already choosing fabrics for the 2010 East Wing renovation,
so don't even think about it, sister.

In closing, let me just assure you Washington Wives that you won't ever catch this First Lady writing a messy
book on politics or something mean-spirited like Neil's horrible wife almost did. We have a little saying at our White
House: dungarees and typewriters are for cowboys and lesbians. That said, I have been considering writing a book with the
help of my friends at the Austin Women's Flower and Garden Club. It's a simple children's tale about a little girl named Laura
who befriends a Mexican girl named Consuela, then teaches her that beauty can be found pulling weeds shoulder-to-shoulder
with her cancer-ravaged daddy in a finely manicured country club flowerbed.

(Applause.)

Of course, I'm going to have the good graces to not publish until I'm back at home in Crawford and all my enemies
and naysayers are dead.

(Applause.)

Thank you all for coming and have a wonderful day.
